Take a break from shopping and family in Dallas during the holiday break for self-care

Enjoy a free ride on the McKinney Avenue Trolley and enjoy an afternoon at Klyde Warren Park or sip mint tea at Baboush in Uptown. (Image: McKinney Avenue Trolly Twitter) 

We love our family and many of us love the madness of holiday shopping, however, sometimes we need a break from it all and just do a few things which we find relaxing or feed our inner nerd. Here are a few options in Dallas to enjoy during the Thanksgiving holiday break.

Relive your Childhood with Videogames at the Cidercade – For only $10 you can play vintage video games all day. With over 170 games that range from head-to-head combat to pinball machines will leave feeling like you did before you were forced to ADULT! Bishop Cidercade

Make a Gratitude List at the Dallas Arboretum – Educators enjoy free admission to the Dallas Arboretum. Take time to write a Gratitude list at the Dallas Arboretum and literally smell the flowers.  And while you are at it eat CAKE at one of the many dining options available tucked away in the gardens. dallasarboretum.org

Savor Happy Hour Connection with Friends – Make a reservation online and invite friends to meet you for Happy Hour at Savor located inside Klyde Warren Park. Can’t parallel park? No problem; Savor validates parking if you spend $10.  Arrive before your guests and check-out a board game from Klyde Warren Park’s library.  If your friends are not available check-out a book or magazine and just enjoy a Moscow Mule while reading alone on one the many comfy couches Savor has to offer. savorgastropub.com and klydewarrenpark.org

Enjoy a Podcast While Sipping Mint Tea at Baboush in Uptown – Catch the McKinney Avenue Trolley to Baboush in Uptown. Order a pot of Mint Tea and listen to your favorite podcast. baboushdallas.com/restaurant  and mata.org

Dollar Tree Disney Plus Chill Bag – Sign-Up for the free seven day trial of Disney Plus & then CHILL. (Set your alarm to cancel in 7 days).
